Using the Yocto BSP guide (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html) as a reference, you can create a minimal BSP layer for the board. You don't have to do everything in the guide, but you do need to have a machine definition, the userspace tuning and a custom kernel recipe for the platform (i.e. you point at some vendor or project tree that has all the required patches). Unless the support for the board is already in the mainline kernel, and then you can have a custom linux-yocto recipe to leverage the existing configuration and code in the linux-yocto repository.
